< 1 Corinthians 16

[1] Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

[2] Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

[3] And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

[4] And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

[5] Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

[6] And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

[7] For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

[8] But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

[9] For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

[10] Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

[11] Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

[12] As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

[13] Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

[14] Let all your things be done with charity.

[15] I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

[16] That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.

[17] I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

[18] For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

[19] The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

[20] All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

[21] The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

[22] If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

[23] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

[24] My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
